Peter Cullen and Optimus Prime Honored at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood

Getty Images and the twitter feed of Levi Tinker (among others) report that coinciding with the Blu-Ray and DVD release of Transformers Age of Extinction, Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, dipped his hands in the cement at Hollywood’s famous Chinese Theater. That’s not all though as Optimus Prime was also granted full honors complete with a huge statue of Age of Extinction Optimus Prime and his wheelprint in the cement!

It’s yet another great honor for the 30th anniversary of Transformers and the man who for so many of us brought the show – and Optimus Prime – to life.

Hopefully I am not necro-ing an old thread too badly, but I was in Los Angeles this weekend for LA Comic Con and visited the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood to see if I could find Peter Cullen's handprints and signature. I wasn't able to see it (though I did find the ones for Star Trek, Harry Potter, Star Wars cast, Dwayne Johnson, Stan Lee, among others) in the forecourt area and the staff there told me that perhaps it was ceremonial only and not on permanent display So anyone here actually spot Peter Cullen's cement imprint in front of the theater?

I watched a video of the event this morning, it was quite emotional watching Peter speak about his brother. Well worth a watch, and it shows just how much this role means to him. (Sorry I don't have a link, FB's blocked at work)

Yeah it is kind of like the walk of fame. There are almost 200 signed concrete slabs out in front of the theater. Names like Shirley Temple and John Wayne. Not sure if this is a first for a voice actor though. Which is huge if it is. My wife has gone there a lot years ago.

Thanks for the reply man. I really appreciate it. I live in Oklahoma so I've only heard of the Walk of Fame.

Not to rain on the parade here, but what is the significance of this? Is this something that other actors have done? Is this like having your name on the Walk of Fame?
